sre made entirely of goods in tiny irreg-
uler checks, in dull, soft shades. The
pattern is quite iuconspicuous, and the
colors are perfectly blended. The lower
skirt of one of these suits is made in
single box plaits; the draperies are
very low, meeting st one side, the apron
being drawn across the front to the other
side, and the back slightly looped, thus

A-shaped panel Of box-plaitings. The
body is plain and perfectly smooth, and
is bound with braid of the darkest shade
in the goods. The sleeves ale close, the
cuffs are bound with braid to match the
waist, as is also the perfect lid which sets
in over the bust in front Of the left Shout

FANCY WORK.
Dotted swiss Is a material that COM |
mends itself for fancy work and may be
used for the same articles as the scrim. |
One of the prettiest uses is for q daisy !
spread and shams. Get the swiss with |
polka DOT IS large SIS a daisy center.
Make the spread and shams of the proper !
size and finish with deep hem. Get |
quantity of yellow and of white silk linen
floss and make one or two rows Of dais-
les about each article.
To make daisy tSke, q long needle |
full of the yellow floss and cover the
white polka dots with it, taking care that
the silk goes the same way SO the thread |
on the dot. Do not bring the floss across
the dot on the underside, but pass the
needle back to the right side and across |
again. A large amount of floss is saved
In this way, and the daisy center will not
be so apt to pull out of shape. For the
petals take 8 small piece of pasteboard,
cut round the size Of daisy, cut the
center to fl over the Daisy center, and
hen with pencil cross the pasteboard
With eight lines to make eight petals.
After working the center place the paste
BOARD over it, and with pencil mark on
he swiss where the petals will
reach, top and bottom. Take full
leedle of the white floss, start st one
mark at the center, bring the thread
through to the right side, then loop it I'M
Ill it reaches the top mark and back again
% the start; put the needle through at
he petal, then pass 1t back again, and pass
{ up TO the point of the petal, catching
Town the floss, then back sgsin to the
center, and SO on to the next one. There
should be four threads of floss to each
PETAL, and none on the wrong side. The
Eject of this work is extremely pretty,
md the daisies will bear many washings
md come out as perfect as though they
lad only been sprlnkled in dew.
